Will The Xbox 360 And PS3 Ever Beat The Wii? Certainly Not Anytime Soon

According to CB Games, it seems like the Wii is whooping butt, royally. According to Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter, there's a preview for the NPD results of April and unless you live under your Grandma's dress, it's been a one-sided war for the Wii

interesting considering the 360 has sold many more units than the Wii... and since the Wii is cheaper it should be expected to outsell the other consoles.

Xbox has been out for 18months. Wii has only been out for 6

Maybe because its really cheap and has fun minigame games? When people realise that proper games for it are far and few between then the novelty will wear off fast

JPomper6188d ago

Nintendo really lucked out with this one. Pretty much everybody I know who has a Wii hasn't touched it since they played Zelda. I won't go as far as to say it's a gimmick, but it's close enough to one and the general public has no idea. All they know is that Grandma can play video games now and that's helping the good word spread like a wildfire. Wii sports only lasts for so long, but hey... at least Mario Party 8 is coming out.

One of my younger family members has a wii,and to tell you the truth i don't see why its so popular,it looks cheap and nasty,the games don't impress me at all,i just dont understand why people are rushing out and buying a souped up gamecube,the mind certainly boggles...

I kept saying, a year down the line and the Wii will go down.
i still hold to that. and now there are many arcticles that back my theory, saying how the novalty will soon wear off.

for example, when everyone gets tired of jumping about playing mini games, they will start pineing for normal games that they can lay down on a couch and play. but that's where the system will fall, because PS3 and 360 are the kings in that area. so the Wii will soon start looking a bit "last gen" with its gamecube quality graphics

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis8h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast7h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 3h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 4h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 4h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 1h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast7h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast7h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon19h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast7h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
